SFTP

[Bash]

I know there are a number of ways that you can authenticate using SFTP. Username password, Certificate etc etc.

I need to claify that if I use a username and password for authentication is that sent in clear text or is it encrypted?

Thats kinda the whole point in SFTP, the username/password combo is transmitted encrypted.
